I would like to thank all the clients in Spain and Portugal for making this a great year with releases reaching customers on time for release dates with the planning department. We have had customers from all genres with very unique productions. We will continue to keep lead times as relalistic as possible and most importantly give you dates that we plan to keep if all goes well. I am very happy that everybody is planning release dates with close supervision with the planning department to meet expectations.

Great music has been released and look forward to working with you all in 2018.

What better way to start the new year with 4 hours of music related to Steely Dan. Original material, beats, breaks and some great little interview snippets from Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. This show gives you a insight to the importance of this band and a renewed appreciation of what music is all about.

Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins stormed the world as the singer of hardcore band Black Flag. He continued his music career with his own Henry Rollins Band. In recent years he is selling out theaters with his spoken word performances. He is also an actor, writer, publisher, journalist,activist and radio host. Whatever he does, he does it with total dedication. It’s with this same passion he collects records. He often shares his love for vinyl in his column in the LA Weekly, encouraging his readers to get into the grooves as well. ‘So, before your ears are too far gone, show them you love them and get a turntable plugged into your system immediately. Get some good records and get down with it!’

Were you tempted to abandon vinyl when the CD was introduced?

“I bought a lot of CDs. They sounded good to me at first, then they didn’t. I sold some records when CDs came out, mainly to pay rent and consolidate space. I bought replacements later.’

Is there any particular rare or special album you are very proud to own?

‘I have quite a few “rare” records as well but I don’t take pride in any of it, I am just interested in the record. Perhaps the first record I would run out of the house with if the place was burning down is not the rarest record I have, per se. It is the second pressing of a friend’s band’s record but it was his mother’s copy and he gave it to me as a gift, so that one’s very important to me.’
